Amendment to the Assembly Procedure Act (October 2020)

[Domais]

Is it valid for me to be commenting on discussions that have not warranted it?

Perhaps no, but I am not breaking any rules nor policies.

Any legislator who votes against this legislation who does not wish to voice their concerns should have their vote nullified. Persons such as @"Leonism" are too afraid to voice their opinions! Rather -- let us vote against the discussion instead of having intellectual discourse, for we will not ever win the aforementioned!

A. That would be unconstitutional B. It is their prerogative whether or not they wish to post in these threads. Leo doesn't seem to ever contribute to the discussion and there is no reason why he should have to if he doesn't want to.

Not sure the logic in arguing with the only person defending your bill!  Since you're interested in an argument for the sheer sake of it . . .

No, it is not unconstitutional. You are referring to this section on the mandate:
(12) In the absence of procedural rules to settle a procedural matter in the Assembly, the Assembly Speaker may establish such rules. Procedural rules established by the Assembly Speaker will always be subordinate to the laws of Lazarus and procedural rules established by the Assembly.

The constitution does not dictate any procedural rules.

Perhaps you are referring to the Assembly Procedure Act?
(5) All votes will take place for five days. Citizens eligible to vote may vote "Aye," "Nay," or "Abstain." Voters may not post any other content in a voting thread or embellish the format of their vote in any way, and votes that include additional content or embellishment will be discarded and split from the voting thread. Voters may cast their votes by posting in each voting thread.

My deliberate protest of this rule within the Assembly Procedure Act was not an unconstitutional one.

[Domais]

(1) The Assembly will be comprised of all citizens of Lazarus. Leo is a citizen of Lazarus who has not had his voting rights stripped by the courts, therefore, Leo is eligible to vote.

[Frankender]

I never claimed he wasn’t eligible to vote.

[Debussy]

For the record, I would never disqualify someone's vote for not taking part in the discussion of whatever bill is at vote. Furthermore, Dom is right. It is unconstitutional.

[Frankender]

Are you both simply ignoring my point or blind to it?

sat·ire
noun
the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

[Debussy]

A really bad joke.

[Frankender]

A really bad joke.

Okay, then yes, you are missing the point!
